I got a very recommendation of you and wish to propose this business to you in a strict confidence. I am seeking your assistance for the Telegraphic Transfer of Twenty Six million United States Dollars(US$26,000,000) to your account for further private investment purposes because my late father instructed me before he died not to use the money to invest in this country Cote d'Ivoire that I should invest abroad for my benefit and to avoid suspect from
the government due to his role in the country.
This amount to be transferred was accrued from an over-invoiced" contract award for the construction of an underground telephone network to replace the former in the new capital city(Yamoussoukro) and other major cities also for installation of the microwave station
awarded to my late father Dr. OMARU SOLOMON in 1998 to expatriate companies.
The contract which was originally valued for one hundred and ten million united states dollars
(US$110,000,000.00) was manipulated to read eighty four million united states dollars (US$84,000,000.00). The extra twenty six million US$ was deposited in a fixed deposit account by my late father which has expired last two months, this is what I want to
transferred to your account as the "beneficiary contractor due for payment". This contract has been completely executed and the contractor has been paid all their bills completely.
On your interest to assist me in this transaction what I require from you, your real name and your private phone and fax numbers for easy and strict communication, Your bank particulars for submission to my fathers banker where this money is to be remitted to your account. You shall arrange for me to meet with you once this fund is been transferred in your own
account and confirmed by you.
On the successful conclusion of this transaction I will offer you 30% of the total amount, I have also mapped out 5% for any miscellaneous expenses that might occur in the process of this transfer, the rest will be released to me when I get to your country. I have worked out all modalities concerning the transfer of this fund, so in this transaction you are required to treat it with the strictest confidence.
Thanks in Anticipation of your acknowledgement of this proposal.Please believe in GOD as we abaind to be one in this transaction lets trusth in him and him alone do I hold on.
Waiting for your urgent response/call.
Help me with a Godly spirit for the trust in this transaction is from the heart.
